Aspose.Cells 25.6 C++ - core dump running on Linux

Aspose.Cells Product Family
1

Hi,
we are testing Aspose.Cells 25.6 C++ for the Linux platform. We are running on OpenSUSE.

We downloaded the official sample Aspose.Cells-for-Cpp-25.6-linux from Getting Started|Documentation and followed the compilation instructions:
OzecrrxjHJsE2Wkj.png (8.1 KB)

We only added following line to “…\Aspose.Cells-for-Cpp-25.6-linux\example\src\example.cpp”:

oZJ8ASrzC7Ptex0n.png (9.6 KB)

While running the sample we get:
image.png (1.3 KB)

so it seems to dump at the instruction (required) “Aspose::Cells::Startup();”

Any hint?
Many thanks.

Best regards

There is indeed a crash problem on openSUSE without a graphics system. I tested it on openSUSE with a graphics system and it works fine.

Hello,
we are running on Linux in server mode, so no graphics installed. Thank you.

@gianfranco.dancelli,

It seems Aspose.Cells for C++ on Linux requires graphics dependencies, even if your application doesn’t do anything with graphical elements itself. We recommend to install graphics (GDI+) in your environment to work with the API.

Hello,
we are Aspose customers, having already (since years) an Aspose.Total license for Java, and currently our product is using the Aspose.Cells Java version, that is running perfectly on the same Linux server machine where the C++ version fails.
Sorry but your recommendation to install a graphical env. on the machine is not acceptable from our side because we are not allowed to install anything on the linux machines of our customers (and also installing a graphical environment on a Linux server just to satisfy a dependency would be overkill). If this can’t be somehow solved, then this limitation would become for us a showstopper to purchase the C++ version of the Aspose.Total Library. All the other Aspose C++ libraries we have tested using the delivered demos like Words, Slides, PDF, are not requiring this dependency, and are working well also on that openSuse environment.

Thank you.
Gianfranco

The core dump issue has been resolved and will be released in v25.7. As a temporary solution, you can copy an Arial.ttf font file to /usr/share/fonts/ folder. This will work with v25.6 as well. Thank you.
